this is my apology for noticing the article un- A der consideration ; I name it also for another reason\u2014that I may not incur the charge of demeaning myself, by condescending to such notice.The Reverend gentleman (lucus a non lucendo) commences his article with a strongly pointed insinuation, amounting to an indirect charge, that Mr.Tabor's withdrawal from the controversy is to be attributed to his religious insincerity, that he does not believe what he preaches.I know of few crimes, Lo tne Rev.J.Boruaxp : Once more through the columns of the Journal 1 shall address a few words to you, to inform you that your very respectable informant (Dame Rumor) has erred in her communications to yourself, with regard to the authorship of \u2018 Veritas.\u201d That if she saw two faces under one hood, (to usc your own expression) she saw two where there was but one.In short, if she has really given you the information which you say she has, she has told you a decided untruth, and you must have Next in order to the insinuation against Mr,\u2019 Tabor comes a lengthily worded claim to the right of investigating every system of religion and public policy.Who doubts that right?t this day, no one presumes to deny the right of discussing \u2018honorably and temperately\u2019 any system which is presented for public approval and patronage, much less of one which concerns the eternal interests of man ; and I am not aware that any one has denied a \u201clittle light\u201d (luérs à non lucendo) \u201cin the this right to John Borland ; though his style face of the scarlet lady\u201d for the benefit of the of presenting this common place truism would \u201csoft ones,\u2019 &c.Who are the soft onez ?\u2014 imply as much.Verily John, I belicve that \u201cDame Rumor \u2014that respectable authori- you are raising shadows, in the form of false\u2019 ty\u2014has assigned the intention of that appli- implications, with which to war, and so long cation to those who have scen fit to extend been sadly in want of proof to maka your suspicions amount to certainty, when you have no hetter to offer than her assertions.Be it known to you, that the bow which sped the arrow with such deadly effect, was drawn by me single-handed.Ilad 1 considered the game at which I aimed worth the effort, I think I might have obtained assistance.I therefore wish you to distinctly understand, that 1 positively am alone the only person at wWhoimn you can hurl the missiles of your impotent rage.Again and again | assure you, that | received no assistance, not even from the ¢ smart voung gentleman,\u201d or the \u2018 consid- crate relative.\u201d Do you, sir, call assistance to erush a spider or a fy which may hanpen va annoy you for the mement, that you are co ready to accuse others of doing t?1am as tonished, and, T venture to affirm thatthe pab- Ve and your own friends (if you Lave anv) are as much go, not at vour ungentlemanly ou penal prosecutions for iifractions and urchristian conduct, for.nothing but the and none in the sight of God, which can be compared in moral turpitude, to that of religious insincerity, more especially when found ception and total disregard of all duty towards as your conquest of them aflords you gratification, and while you confine yourself to that petty warfare so well suited to your abilities, you shall remain unmolested ; but when, under the plea of regard for truth, and a desire to expose the errors of other systems and maintain the truth of your own, you sce fit to Ç publish a tissuc of base personal insinuations \u2018 and implied charges injurious to the char- | acter and respectability of those who oppose or those who differ with you in your religious views, think yourself fortunate that you are within a pale which proteets from a\u2018 lash more severe than the critic's pen.Would you know what that paleis! is the sacredness of the profccsion you dishcacr, the high repute of the Church of which you are an\u2019 unworthy member, the respect entertainrd for | the congregation over which you preside, ard | the pity and contempt which your conduct in- i spires.! i in a professed minister of the Gospel ;

the most efficient weapans which could be used against them, would be the shafts of truth ; to garble, construe falsely, or forge a lie concerning them would be much like \u2018\u2018carrying coals to Newcastle.\u201d This author wishes an opportunity to throw their hospitality and the rites of common courtesy and civility to the \u2018\u2018wearer of the ominous black gown,\u201d and to those who may at times prefer to attend that gentleman's ministrations rather than Mr.B.'s.Idoubt not that the intention is such; whether or not I be right in judging this intention, the author's word's are open to, and have receive! that construction, and he eannot complain if judged accordingly.Now, however much we may deplore that sour-faced, narrow-hearted bigotry end fanaticism, which can see no good in, nor have any sympathy with, those without the pale of itsown sect or party, it is no malter of our\u2019s, and however much we may pity the poor bigot whose circle of vision is so confined, £0 long as he keeps within his own sphere, he is sacred from our animadversion.But, when he oversteps his own limits, when he applies in the most publie manner terms of opprobrium and contempt to those whe may Drummond, the member from Surry, rose to address the house about 9 o'clock, and spoke his mind pretty plainly, whereupon the ultra.montane members commenced a regular and organized system of interruption.Mr, Drummond, nuwraily irritated, gave utterance to certain expressions regarding mummeries and modern miracles, on which the ultramontists rose and shouted and shrick- ed, some running towards the member from Surry, and threatened him with personal vio- ence.A more outrageous scene of tumult was never witnessed within the walls of any publie assembly.It was finally quieted and the debate proceeded.The great speeches of the night were those of Sir James Graham and Lord John Russell.\u2018The latter distinetly avowed his continued adhesion to the Durham letter, and declared that further agg cssions should be mct by further measures.Sir James Graham opposed the bill, and considered the present measure uncalled for, more especially as it was a penal enactment and a reversal of former policy.The great World's Fair daily attracts more attention.The Queen, itis said, will die- tribute the prizes of the Crystal Palace Exhibition.A terrible accident happened near Paisiey in Scotland, by-the explosion of the Victoria coal pit, eaused by fire-damp, by which sixty- one persons lost their lives.À steam beiler explosion had orcurred at Stockport, by which twenty lives were lost.Th: explosion occurred in the Park cotton mills ;

ments are thrown on that class of venders where the high charges for spirit, by the glass, wouid render its sale the least dangerous, while the government itself, by allowing its importation at-a reduced duty, and the merchant and distiller who sell cheap and in any quantity from one gallon upward, are cxempted from all its penalties.Ido not wish to charge the advocates of temperance with acting on hostile or illiberal feelings, for the dangerous consequences growing out of the excessive use of ardent spirit are too apparent, and should naturally enlist all humane feelings in favor of its eradication; but, when violent and premature measures are brought iuto requisition to effect the object, they cause antagonistical feelings, which, by creating prejudice in the human mind, closes all its avenues to conviction.Neither do 1 believe that they have duly considered the unjust and unequal bearing of this act on vested rights, and the spoliation of property conscqucut upon it.It is well known that many proprietors of hotels have expended large amounts in \u2018building for public convenience without the prospect of adequate returns, and this act requiring a specified amount of property in the premises by the occupier.the proprictor becomes thus compelled to conduct the house himself or close it to the i vue; but, thiac you should dare come out in : two respectable persons, (the one a lady) with the publie manner that you have done, upon no better authority for so doing than publie rumor, erræ if you had that.1 am astonished that you should have dared put your own vile sayings (for you do not even quote your respected authority to prove that she ever said anything of the kind) into the mouth of the lady whom you so bascly slander by so doing.I, Veritas, challenge you to prove one word which you have attributed to her, having ever been spoken by her, and, until you can do so.you must lic under the imputation of having concocted a most malicious and deliberate falschoud, told fur the purpose of injuring its object.The only weapon which you scem capable of using, is the grossest personal abuse to your opponents.This, is useless in your hands so far as I am concerned, and your utter ignorance of the marksman, and the quarter from whenee came the shaft which has rendered you so helpless, has caused you to vent your malignity upon those who were innocent of the deed for which you have maligned fthem.You have made yourself so thoroughly known in Stanstead and its vicinity, that your sting is now rendered harmless here.1 cannot forbear hoping that experience may yet learn you something ; and as your conduct proves that you have not made use of the antidote which I before recommended, 1 will give you another prescription which I think will be more in accordance with your disposition and habits.When you leave Stanstead, (which for the sake of vour church may God grant will be soon) and go to a new field of operation, where they know you not, public.oo My own impression is, that the present Jaw is too partial and ex- in charity to the church which you may be called to preside over, T would advise you to get an artist, cither to paint the portraits of, treme as falling suddenly on onc;

for they would most certainly have bcen just, and subject to no doubt, had they been penned after B.'s late communication.Now, I would advise John Borland, should he hereafter engage in controversy, and should he find his antagonist suddenly silenced, (and he most certainly will be if he is a gentleman, and B.'s communications should not be subjected to the censorship of a committee on common decency prior to publication) not to suppose his opponent vanquished, ora system demolished, but to revert for an instant to the fable of the ass which is or ought to be in the libri primi of the Latin Schools.(By the way there arc many fables of asses from almost any of which he might draw very appropriate and applicable morals.) Once upon atime, the beasts of the field and the birds of\u2019 the air were in the habit of gathering together in assemblies and meetings of their own kind to discuss \u201chonor- mor\u2019 of \u201ctwo faces under onc hood ;\u201d the! one that of \u201ca smart young gentleman,\u201d the other, of a \u2018\u201c\u2018considerate relative of ihe fomin- ine gender.\u201d What, John, do you, asa min- istor of the gospel, one who, in the avocatiors of vour profession, are in the habitral prac-' tice of relying upon no less autherity than Divine Revelation, do you, sir, impute a charge of even this nature upon such contemptible authority as \u201cDame Rumor,\u2019 \u201cher of the! thousand tongues, each laden with a lic.\u201d \u2014 | For shame ! for shame! but you arc shameless.Rumor may sometimes impel onc to suspicion, but no honorable man would give uttcrance to à suspicion no better founded.\u2014 Scandal may be sufficient authority for an idle gossip's tale, but \u201cAngels and Ministers of grace, defend\u201d all Reverends from reliance upon such authority.Now, John, let me inform you that Jam not Veritas, nor had 1 aught in any manner whatsocrer to do with the articles bearing that signature.I do not take the pains to contradiet the charge because of any want of merit in that production, for as much as I doubted the justice of the satire of Veritas, at the time of its publication, I now learn that he knew you better than myself; and I belicve\u2014speaking after the manner of Veritas \u2014that not only are the clapboards off your house, but it is sadly in want of a new foundation, in which there should be, (in your own parlance) more of the regenerate, and less of the natural, more Christian charity, and less worldly egotism, than are apparent in the present onc.My reasons for making this disclaimer are, first, to learn you, John, how rash, fool-hardy and inconsiderate you have been, in placing so much reliance upon the idle sayings of your respectable authority, \u201cDame Rumor\u2019 \u2014sec- ondly, that 1 would not rest under the imputation (as I am sure would no \u2018smart young gentleman,\u201d or \u2018\u201c\u2018considerate relative\u201d) of requiring aid to cope with John Borland : as 1 should-\u2014were that imputation credited\u2014incur most contemptuous and unsparing ridicule.B.speaks of his late communication, as perhaps his valedictory to the readers of the ably and tcmperately,\u201d those matters which |Journal.I most sincerely hope both for his they believed to pertain to their welfare.No jand their sake that it is such ; for they are onc kind interfered with the affairs of anoth.1 heartily tired of, and disgusted with his arti.t | loss by sacrificing its revenue hy so | nails, until you get exhausted.and while you gustingly offensive, these who have in no wise molested him or his church, and whe would fain be at peace with him, he becomes, at least, an impertinent, impudent intermed- dler, and should consider himself foriunste that his punishment is no more severe thar, an exposition of Lis conduct no more pubic than his offence.The concluding clause of this chaste senience is justly open to sever.animadversion, which would hold its author up in the light of aught rather thau a gentleman ; but 1 pass over it, lest 1 should myself incur the reproach so justly due to him.Before closing, 1 havo a few words to say to the readers of the Journal.AI} published matter, is public property, so far as the right of approval or condemnation is concerned, ani open to the criticism of any person who shall sce fit to notice it ; and should he condemn, however harshly and severely in appearance.he cannot be biamed if that condemnation be justly deducible from the matter iu hand.Tr 1 have charged upon the author of the article Just under eonsideration, or upon the article itself, aught which I am not warranted in doing, by the character and contents of this and his previously published articles, then am I without defence.But if I bave imputed to them only what may be fairly inferred from the matter in hand, then am 1 liable to but one censure ; viz: that of having demeaned myself, by noticing a matter which required so much \u201cdirty work\u2019\u2019 at my hands.THE SMART YouNa GENTLEMAN, .WITHOUT AID.Stanstead, April 8th, 1851._ Mr.Robinson,\u2014Sir: When * Veritas\u2019 thinks proper to come forward, (if ever) 1 will most willingly resign my share of his mantle.I will take this opportunity to express my thanks to the Rev.gentleman who has 80 kindly and respectfully brought me into notice, in 3 publie journal.\u201d The urbanity and politeness of Mr.Borland to the ladies, is too well known to need any comment from the = \u201c Considerate Relative of the Smart Young Gentlrman.;

he proved clearly, that in no other way could a party so economically or i with such safety, lay by an amount, sufficient to provide for lus family after his decease, es-| peciaily if that event should take place pre-| maturc!y, and what is more probable?For; how true it is, that in very many instances (aid frequently when least expected)\u2014 \u201cVe bloura to-day, to-morrow die.\u201d The Lecturer successfiily combatted the argument often urged against the system, that \u201cthose who took advantage of it showed a want of confidence in Providence ;\u201d and proved most clearly that if Life Assurance was more geaerally adapted, \u201cappeals to the pub- Lic in behalf of the widvw and orphan\u2019 would be much less frequent.Mr.Baker concluded the Lecture, which, throughout, was fraught with sound argument, and incontrovertible statements, by drawing the attention of the audience to the benefit which the country would derive from retaining in the Province, as far as possible, the amounts expended in premiums to Life Assurance Companies.\u2014 The sum now annually ranitted from the coun~ try in this way, being upwards of $60,000! He showed, that hy the largely increased rate of interest obtainable here, the premiums must be proportionately reduced, and proved the claims of th: Canada Life Assurance Company on the public for support, for many reasons, bat mor: proninently because its rates of pre- min wore low, and it is the only Institution of the kind, originated, and investing, in the Province.\u2018The Leeturar was listened to with marked attention, and was warmly applauded at the close of his remarks._ &F À good practical joke was recently perpetrated upra the Mayor of the city of N.York.Mayor Kingsland, who is a merchant engaged in active business, has lately been stri-ily enforcing all laws against allowing boxes, bales, &e.to incumber the sidewalks.Many of the merchants \u2018\u2018suffered some\u201d in the way of fines, and put themselves on the watch to catch the Mavor napping.À few days since, while the employees of the mayor were ergaged in receiving a large consignment of oil, bis neighbors were taking notes and making complaints at the mayor\u2019s office.The complaints wera found to bc well grounded, aad the functionary had to \u201cfork over\u201d $300 fur the benefit of the city treasury.- or ee Teel LS LTT The Montreal Pilot, in speaking of the \u201cAet for the suppression of intemperance,\u201d says; \u201cThere are scveral objectionable provisions of that Act, which will most likely be altered or repealed in the next session of Parliament.We believe that some persons who are well acquainted with the subject have collected information and obtained the opinion and advice of other competent individuals, with a view to prepare a general measure, to be submitted to Government previous to the opening of the Session.\u201d Tt appears by a return issued from the Pro- thonotaries* Office at Quebec, that the number of baptisms in that District during the year 1830 were 11,805; burials, 4,893; total increase, 6,912.Total number of marriages, 1,972.\u2014 Pilot.Three Cent Dieces are now being made at the Philadelphia U.S.Mint.They are three-quarters silver and one-quarter copper, about the size of a Spanish sixteenth, though considerably thicker.The Minesota Chronicle of the 10th ult, states that sad accounts have been received there from the Upper Indian country.\u2018The Indians above Crow Wing were suffering extremely, and many had literally starved to death.It is estimated, adds the Chronicle, that within a short time past, from five to seven hundred of them have died in consequence of Privations.Summary Pusisument.\u2014 The way they do things in California.\u2014'The Pacific News has the following: \u201cA man was discovored on the bank of the river, two miles this side of Nicolaus, who had been shot thro\u2019 the heart.On the collar of his coat \u2018sessions.caught this damned rascal stealing my mules, and I shot him\u201d \u2018The dead man was not recognized.\u201d The Welland Canal.The arrival of a deputation appointed by the Board of Trade of Uswego to proceed to Toronto, in order to ascertain the views of the Canadian Government on the subject of closing the Welland Canal, has attracted considerable attention, We believe that the Government has for some time had under serious consideration the expediency of taking this step.So long as there seemed a reasonable probability of the early passage of the American Reciprocity Bill, which contained a clause securing the free navigation of the Canadian Rivers and Canals to the Americans, it was of course inexpedient to take any action on the subject.Although the Congress of the United States has not rejected the Reciprocity Bill, and although there is strong ground for believing that the majority of both llouses entertain friendly feelings to it, yet it can scarcely bea matter of surprise that the people of Canada should become impatient at the delay in dealing with thie question, which bas occupied the attention of Congress during the last three The Oswego delegation has returned home, convinced that the subject is under scricus consideration, and that it is very likely that the Canal will beclosed to American vessels\u2014unless, indeed, atreaty sho'd be negotiated, under which the Americans would obtain the right of vavigating the Canadian waters.\u2014 We obzerve that some of cotempora- ries who profess to support the Government, deprecate very strongly the adoption of such a policy, but we cannot believe they have examined the question in all its bearings, We shall admit, at the outset, that we believe that Canadian interests would be benefitted by throwing the St.Lawrence entirely open to American vessels.Why then did the House during last session sustain the Government in keeping it closed?Simply because it is notorious to any one who is acquainted with the state of opinion in the United States, thal if the St.Lawrence was given up, all hope of Reciprocity would be at an end.To gain an important measure for Canada, we submit to some present incouvenience.This, then, being the state of the case, why should we concede to the Americans the navigaiion of that link in the chain which is most important to American interests, and confers least benefit upon Canada.The American trade through the Welland Canal is principally with Oswego and Ogdens- burg, ports which directly compete with Montreal and Quebec.We refuse to allow American vessels to bring the Western produce to Quebec, or to Boston and New York, via the St.Lawrence; but we permit it to be carried to the ports, whence it is conveycd to those cities by American forwarders.Canada controls the entire navigation of the lakes and the St, Lawrence.That navigation is indispensable to the pcople of the United States, and 1f our Govern- nent pursues a bold policy, the Americans will find it absolutely ne- cossary fo enter into a cominercial treaty.If, on the other hand, we give up everything, adieu to reciprocity.We believe that upon this, as well as other subjects, involving our intercourse with foreign powers, much relianee should be placed in the discretion of the Government to take the best steps to promote the interests of the country.They have access to information not within the reach of the public at large, and they can, therefore, form a more correct judgment as to the expediency of adopting a particular line of policy, than those not behind the scenes.\u2014 Toronto Globe.From rar Mexican Bounnary Com- Mission, Texas, &e.\u2014New York, April 4th.\u2014The New Orleans Picay- uue of the 26th ult., furnishes an account of the following terrible scenes which occurred at Socorro, a brief becn received by telegraph: Bands of armed ruffians had been overawing the inhabitants of Socorro, by parading around the streets, and committing all manner of lawless acts.They robbed and killed openly, without provocation or remorse.Through the 28th and 29th January they ranged like wild beasts, committing all sorts of crimes; when a party of citizens sent an express to the U.8.at San Elezerio, about six miles off, asking for protection, which was declined, and the applicants referred to the civil anthoritics On the night of the 29th, the robber band, seeking Mr.E.C.Clark, said to be the son of Hon.J.W.Clark, U.8.Senator from Rhode Island, went to a Fandango where he was, and maltreated the whole party of men and women.The leader, Alex.Young, assisted by three others, fell statement of which has previously |\u201c Another man named Charles Gates was badly shot.Next morning some members of the Boundary Commission sent an express to the main body at San Ele- zerio for help.In three hours a large party of Americans and Mexicons arrived, and secured eight or ten of the worst of the desperadoes, including Wade, Butler and Craig.\u2014 Young, the leader, escaped.\u2018These men were brought before Judge Ber- thol, and the next day sentenced to be hung.Within one hour the sentence was enforced, and they were hung up to the branches of a tree.\u2014~ \u2018The bodies of the murderers were buried, as was also that of the murdered Clark.A reward of $400 was offered for the arrest of Young.He was brought to Sorocco on the 11th, and immediately made a full confession of his crime, but was put on trial.On the 12th he was found guil- iy, and executed on the same tree where his companions had been hung.MARRIED.On the 24th ult., by Rev.J.Green, at the residence of the bride's faiher, Mr.SamvEL Pace, of Newbury, Vt., to Miss Lucinpa, fourth daughter of Lotes Baldwin, Esq., of Barnston.On the 30th ult., at the Parsonage, Barns- ton, by the same, Mr.IsrarL ManTIN, to Miss ADALINE GouLD.Qu the 3d inst., in Stanstead, by the same, Mr.Joseph L.Davis, to Miss Diana Crazk.At Derby Line, by L.Spalding, Esq.on the 4th ult., Mr.Unian Lapp, of Barnsten, to Miss Ereanor Masox, of Wheelock, Vt.In Magog, by Res.I.M.Michel}, Mr.L.T.Menniman, of Magog, to Mrs.P.D.Buz- ZELL, Of Slanstead.DIED.In Barnston, on the 24th ult., Mr.Jerem- an Ifory, aged forty-three ycars and three months.He died of consumption, after lingering under this slow butsurely fatal disease for twelve months.Hisdeath was the fifth in the family within a few years.He was the last of these brothers, extensively respected while living, and much lamented at death.\u2014 Com.On the 3d inst., in Barnston, EcISABETH GouLp, aged 73 yegrs.Drownen.\u2014In this village on the 3d inst, Myron, son of Albert and Maria Young, in the 6th year of his age.CANADA LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY.FORMS of Proposal, Prospectuses, and every information cn the subject, will be given on application to the Agent.Persons proposine;for Assurance prior to the 30th April, 1851, will participate in the profits of the Company one year in advance of subseqnent assurances FRANCIS JUDD, Agent.M.F.COLBY, M.D., Medical Referce.Stanstcad Plain, April 7th, 1851.x NOTICE.THE Copartacrship of Spalding & Jones is this day disslved by mutual agreement, Mr.Jones having resigned his entire interest in said concern to Mr.Spalding, who is authorized to settle all claims, both in faver and against said concern.LEVI SPALDING, JOHN M.JONES.Rock Island, Stanstead, April 8, 1851.MR.J.M.JONES, LA of the firm of Spalding & Jones, would respectfully announce to the inhabitants of Hatley, that he has leased the Store owned by G.W.Kennedy, where he will on the Ist of May next, open a small but well selected Stock of Goods, which he is determined to sell as Jow as they can be bought in the County\u2014 Protective Unions not excepted.Having become satisfied that the ready pay system is better for boih parties, he will hold his Goods for pay down.He will receive all kinds of country Produce in exchange for his Goods, but truth compels him to say that he will give more Goods for the Cash dollar than any other.To the members of the P.U.No.\u2014, he would say, that he should he pleased to have them call and examine his goods and prices, and he feels satisfied that he can convince them that they can obtain better bargains of him than elsewhcre.Hatley, April 9th, 1851.282 Valuable Stock, &c.at Auction.ILL be sold at Public Auction, at the residence of DD.CONNELL, Esq., Hatley, near West Village, on Wednesday, 30th April, 1851, a3 1 o'clock, P.M., Five good Milch Cows;
